[IPython-user] Tab completion and number of rows/columns displayed

[Jörgen Stenarson]

Jesus,

I'm not sure what the problem could be, but I have one idea. Do you have 
your console window settings such that both the window and the window 
buffer has the same width. It could be that you have aa wider buffer and 
the completions are formatted to suit the buffer width and not the 
window width.

For future debugging could you perhaps email me screenshots of the 
windows showing the problem. That might give me more ideas as well.
